Meet My New Purchase!

[Gleeful Imp]

Sorry not a horse, but Little Truck!

He's my "new" 5.5 tonne baby, got a nice 2.2 tonne payload (I've got the weigh ticket) drives ace (its got 6 gears, central locking and electric windows!!!!!!!!!) and before I bought it took George out for a 40 mile spin round the worse roads I could find for hairpin bends and bumps!

He didn't move at all

So bye bye 1986 Cargo (sold straight away to 2 ladies from my yard who snapped it up) and hello bankruptcy

I've gone green (with envy!) - very smart indeed!!

 

[Magicmillbrook]

That is sooooo cool. I have lorry envy now too. I do love my old dodge but she is a little frayed round the edges. I try not to park near nice trucks so I dont hurt her feelings!

 

[Ally_F]

Want! very jellous

 

[somethingorother]

Ohhh wowee! That's lovely! Very posh

 

[Abbeygale]

Love it - very very jealous

 

[brighteyes]

I'll keep my eyes peeled - if you see this lorry flashing at you...

flash back, cos it's me!

 

[cjt1701]

Wow! Just what I would like - goes to hide in corner and sulk.

 

[Brontie]

Lovely! I love the colour!

 

[kezimac]

wow its lovely, and when i win the euro millions later i will buy one too - if not i will just continue with my little one horse trailer!!!

 

[Depp_by_Chocolate]

ooohhh that's nice, very jealous

 

[xena_wales]

That's really nice! What chassis is it, and is the ramp easy to handle?

 

[Boxers]

Now that is really nice - I'm jealous.

Would love to change my truck and trailer for one of those and then be able to have a small car!

Enjoy!

I've gone green (with envy!)

[Puppy]

Wow, that is lush I am very jealous!

 

[smiggy]

ooh thats lush-just what Im after. Could you let me know who made it etc?

Lucky you

 

[Brandy]

Oh verrry nice. You must be chuffed!!

I want one.

 

[Gleeful Imp]

Thank you everyone, I am really really really really pleased with it!

Bright Eyes - will be looking out for your gorgeous truck!

Smiggy - its built by Cuerden Valley Horseboxes, I'm very happy to PM you their details if you'd like.

Its a 5.5 tonne Renault Mascott, ramp is very well sprung and very easy to do. Its only a basic living as I wanted to spend the money on chassis and horsey area. I can't believe how well it handles and how good the suspension / ride is.

CVH also do a 3.5tonne version.

I am a very very lucky girl, but I've had to wait till I was 43 and only persuaded OH I HAD to upgrade after old truck broke down and George had a nasty do in a trailer (no lasting damage but OH couldn't stand to go through more horse trauma so said for god's sake get a new one.) But am now bankrupt with a lovely big debt but I'M IN LOVE!

Either Haagan Daaz or Weight Watchers cookies for putting up with me gabbling on!
